Clue for the clueless…

Does something in my Blogroll ring a bell, related to my previous post??!? If  you found out, you’re really a genius!lol..

Hibernation?!

I’m seeking for a change and so, I ‘m gonna take a break from wordpress. I’m not sure if it is temporary or permanent. But, it is definitely gonna be a very long break. Don’t ask me why.. I said break from wordpress. I’m shifting my bases to another exciting world whcich is gonna be my haunt for sometime or well..my lifetime. Sorry wordpress, sorry if I had hurt you.  I’ve gotto go my own way. Ciao!!

Mind-talk!

– Results are out..yeah!
– Dont expect me to shout “hurrraaaaayyyy, I’ve passed”
– No..No, Don’t jump to conclusions. It does’nt mean I’ve failed. I’ve got reasonably good percentage 96% , but not a reasonably good cut-off…”Now don’t ask me what that means..I’m not in a mood to explain as you can very well find from my writing.”
– Yes. I was distressed the day it came out, in fact very distressed. Yeah. Expectations *do* hurt a lot!
– If it had not been for Jim Fall for directing such a movie called “The Lizzie Mcguire” in 2003, I would never have come out of the darkness. Thank you, sir!!! I got much elated by the end.
– I’ve to acknowledge the band, “The Atomic Kitten” too, for their awesome song, “The tide is high!” and of course to Jim Fall again, for featuring that song in the movie. The lyrics was really motivating. Thank you, guys. Will always luv ya.
And my hearty thanks to samy, for her really mature status message in orkut, which in fact made me feel ashamed,
“lyf doesnt stp here…do wat u lov..these suckin marks culd neva decide who u r…so cummon ppl rock on..lyf s shrt .liv it d way u want”
– Awesome words from her. Yeah life does’nt stop here. Yes. Thanks once again, gal.
– Though it was just a casual remark from her, it meant a lot to me. At that time. At that moment.
– And yeah. Now I’m perfectly good, out of the agony. As always, *hoping for the best*.
– Yes. Yes. “We’re soaring, flying, there’s not a star in heaven that we can’t reach. If we’re trying we’re breaking free!”
– To all others, who’re still worrying about the god-damn results. Let it go. Just a passing cloud. It’s the talent and skill in you that decides your future, not just a 4-digit-number or well a 3-digit-no. in my case, that popped out because of your memory power , that is going to decide your destiny. Let’s move forward. Exciting things await us.
– WOW, GOD. I love myself for sounding so optimistic and colourful. 😛
– Yes. I love me.. Yes. I AM WHAT I AM and I’m proud to have at least scored this much. 😉

The Elusive Fate…

 

Many weird things happen in one’s life.  Some *weird* instances  especially happen when you do stuff out of the norms. No, don’t confuse much. Let me give a vivid picture about what I mean, with some examples.

1)    Let’s say, You’re not a regular visitor to a swimming pool. But one fine day, you suddenly decide to go to the nearby swimming pool in the club in which you are a member. Unfortunately, you go there only to find the pool closed because of maintenance.

2)    You travel by bus daily and you’re this disciplined person who buys the ticket regularly in spite of the crowds and the fact that nobody’s checking your ticket. One day, only one single day you try to be a li’l adventurous and try travelling without a ticket, only to find yourself caught and fined by the ticket-checker who visits the bus  that particular day of all days.

    Well, what’s the pattern behind all these happenings?! If you ask any well-experienced adult, they’ll come up with a single answer, *FATE*. Thala-vidhi or Thalai-ezhuthu.  Fate is one mystery that takes a very long time to understand. Every mythology speaks about Fate in a very distinguished manner. Some popular mythologies quote that fate is synonymous to the mystic spinning of threads  in which each thread represent a human’s life. Well, let’s not go deep into it. Put in simple words, the two reasons behind these instances maybe fate,  for spiritual people or just a simple co-incidence for those-who-don’t give in to all these fate and destiny stuff.

                          Something like that happened to me last night. Normally, I sleep in the bed at night. But last night, I suddenly had a craving (uh?) to sleep in floor in what-they-call-as pai. (mat!) After spreading the mat in my bedroom, I left to the hall, to read a novel ‘cuz 1) I was suffering from a short insomnia that night as my results were coming next morning. Besides , uh..I loved that book. 2) My parents were also sleeping in the same room and I did’nt want to disturb them by switching the light on. After completing the novel, that was one of Ludlum’s writing known as the “Holcroft covenant” (a kinda-crime novel that focused on killings and murder!!) I returned to my room at 12:30. I silently lied down without waking my parents. I still could’nt get sleep. My thoughts were still-wandering around the story-the deaths-my results – and the after-math of it, if it was the unexpected-and –everything -that- focused- on –fear. I was, literally trembling at that point of night and then the *weird* thing happened. Something was moving up my ankles. For a moment I thought it was just the air from the AC. But then, it was still moving. Involuntarily, I jerked my legs and the *lump* fell again on my ankles. My heart skipped a beat.I got up with a start, adrenaline flowing all over, shouting amma, eli!! (Mom, rat!!!), switched on the light. The li’l culprit was nowhere to be seen. It had run out of sight.

My grandma feels comfortable down and she sleeps on the floor every night. Nothing like that has ever happened to her. That was the first time I ever decided to sleep down  and that was the first time ever something like that e happened in the house. Uh..Though, it was just a rodent, the prospect of something crawling up ,esp. when you’re already scared out of your wits… definitely disturbing!!

Was it fate in the role of rodent playing it’s game on me, last night or was it just a mere co-incidence?? Heaven-knows!!

 

 

PS. Or was it just my illusion?? My mom said she never saw a rat in our house. No. I definitely felt something crawling up. Any similar instances?? Post them in comments.

One of the best day-to-day humours of Dad!

My dad is my best lets-say …stress killer…Even if I had loads of curses to swear on my dad sometimes when he annoys me, a one-word of his is just enogh to crush them all. Yeah , you got it right..he’s humorous. Unfortunately sometimes his stuff would turn out to be “mokkais” too…(well, what they say as ill-humour!) but most of the time he gets it funny.

Last year vacation..I was returning from delhi to chennai along with my parents. The caterers were north indians n apparently we had to *converse* in hindi, which none of us were good at. We were all in the novice stage of learning the language. We ordered coffee and the guy gave us each a cup. For a second after recieving the cup, I was at the perception that it was just a cup of boiled water. But, the *polite* conscience of mine forced me to say a single-word to the bearer, the only word I knew exactly at the moment.. “Dhanniyavadh”. It means “thanks” . My dad spontaneoulsy retorted, “Nee vera..avan erkanave thanniya vaathuthaan koduthurukkuran nee vera aen kekara!” (vaathu means pour in our slang)
Translation : He Has already poured lotsa water in it.Need u ask more?

And we burst into laughter. That was one memorable humor of dad, which I’d never forget!

 

P.S : Forgive me for a lack of something in my writing. I just cant figure out what. Maybe it’s the style. I just came out a bit of Writer’s block.

AM BACK!

Hey all, 

                  Am terribly sorry for the really long gap. Looks like I have been dormant for quite some time, does’nt it? Anyway. My exams have finally ended. To be honest, it ended on the 23rd of last month. Unfortunately, my system, which has been awarded as the “THE  DUMBEST COMPUTER OF THE GLOBE” by well..me, got into a serious trouble and has been sick for nearly a month now. Even now, it’s lying dormant and am blogging from my cousin – The Whimsical Mind’s house! “sigh” In this span of let’s say a year, lot’s of stuff have happened. To name a few, the terrible tragedy at “THE TAJ” , Rahman’s countenance and his awesome words at the kodak theatre, Nadal’s noble gesture at the Australian open. Well, I can list lot more than that.  Sorry for being ignorant to these events when they occured. Damn my boards for that. This is just a “come back” post and I’ll be hopefully writing more in the weeks to come. I’ve lots to reveal and lots to say.  hmmm…well, will pen down them in the next post.  Au revoir.

P.S: Thought I could put up the picture of the “master Blaster” and his replica at Madame Tussauds. Just liked it and wanted to share it. A guy like him surely deserves this.

Summer’s here

Summer…That’s all we yearn for or that’s all we regret yearning for. Well, I’ll opt mostly for the latter. I’ve to warn you at the beginning itself.This is going to be another one of my laments. Nowadays, Laments are mostly dominating in my life. Coming to the point. I call this weather as SSH i.e. Scorching Summer Heat. And obviously I am a victim to the deadliest SSH. The maximum temperature of my place today, yesterday and the day before were 39.0 C, 42.1 C and 40.6 C (Forgive me for not entering the degree sign) respectively. Whew. I commute by bus to school and believe it or not, I had classes till yesterday. By the time I reach ed home, all my energies were exhausted leaving me into severe headache and not to mention, Leg-pain. And I couldn’t even think of taking a rest, because I had Math class an half an hour later. I took a shower, changed and next moment, I was sitting under a professor teaching Matrices and Determinants. The time ticked-off and as there was nobody to pick me up from the class, I had to walk a mile to my house. I used to head  towards my room and switch on the Air-conditioner and sit, with my limbs outstretched. Then I helped my mom with household chores , dined and slept. This was my routine for a week or so. Forget all the CFC’s emitted from ACs resulting in global warming. At this scorching temperature, all we yearn for is chillness and Air-conditioners are ready-made supply . And of course, Water. I’m a poor water-drinker basically and my mom used to scold me for bringing the water bottle untouched to home. And now, I take two bottles to fill up my needs. Can’t imagine a life without water. Next, Milkshakes and juices. My school has an outlet of Nestle and these guys sell Iced Tea, Chocolate Shake, Lemonade, Orangeade, Cappuccino, Moccacino etc. tendering to the needs of hanging tongues. Then Sunburn. That’s the worst of all. It takes nearly 6 months to regain a proper complexion and all that hard-work is destroyed in a jiffy, the moment your skin is exposed to the sun. Be it SPF-20 or SPF-30, Girls go behind Sunscreens this season as a protector from the attack of the UV. Or else, you could see scary figures on road, with their faces all covered with their shawls and Sunglasses above their shawls. The adverse effect is these shawl-sunglass cladden faces DO appear in my night-mares haunting me as a Gothic or zombie.

Well, I’ve to admit, in spite of all the measures taken, we do suffer because of the SSH. Two days ago, I had gone with my family to a temple that is about 100 km from the city. We had hired an Indica from the travels and to my worst astonishment, there was no AC in the car. Time was running out and we had no other go. Just to bear without an AC. WITTILY (Sarcasm intended), I took the front seat, the one near the driver. The next moment, I could only feel the sun, generously splurging her rays at me. I was almost in tears half-way. I exchanged places with my dad in the back seat and felt releived after some time. I was staring ahead at the raod. I saw a scene which took me off my seat. A truck was going ahead of us. In it, was a dark man sitting half-naked, fully exposed to the sun. But, I, even after sitting in a car, was making a big fuss.That’s something to think about. I’ve to be content at least to have an Ac at home. There might be many peers, who don’t even have Ac’s at home. To add up to my comforts, my school classes are also being Air-conditioned.There are people out there, who don’t even get proper water. I realize, now that I’ve to stop lamenting and look into WHAT I HAVE than WHAT I DON’T HAVE.I hope this might be the last post in the “Laments” category.

*Sitting comfortably, in front of an Ac and typing a blog*

The Latest Buzz

First of all, I’ve to apologize everyone for not posting for a long time. I was infected by exams and after that I was in quarantine for some time, in the sense, I was suffering from writer’s block. Now, I’ve decided to give it a try.

So, this is gonna be about my favorite sitcom, that I’ve been watching for some time. Presently, I’m really obsessed with it. My obsession is the reason that made me to write something on that.

“THE LATEST BUZZ” is a sitcom revolving around 5 ninth graders. A magazine, titled “The Teen Buzz” is struggling and the staffs are replaced by actual teenagers. They take up their positions seriously and lose themselves in a world of Fashion, Entertainment, Video-games etc. The main characters in the story are

Rebecca, played by Zoe Belkin

2) Wilder, played by Munro Chambers,

3) Michael Davis, played by Demetrius Joyette

4) Amanda Pierce, played by Vanessa Morgan and

5) Noah, played by Justin Kelly

Rebecca is an intelligent girl, happy, eager, girl, who sets her sights high and has lofty dreams, such as winning the Pulitzer Prize. Rebecca writes the Student Issues column. Rebecca’s column is ‘In So Many Words’. Easygoing and bubbly, Rebecca has the heart of a journalist. One day she dreams of winning Pulitzers and breaking huge stories, but for now she’s thrilled to expose the seedy underbelly of high school life. Every episode, she writes different articles. For instance, she wrote, “Serving as waitress” article and for that she had to actually work as a server in her school canteen and “Cheerleading” article, where she actually engaged herself in cheering to write on that.

Wilder is a Gaming obsessed dude and willing to try anything. Covers Gaming column. Wilder’s column is ‘Game on’. As good-natured as they come, Wilder is completely clueless about everything except gaming. At school, Wilder is the man. At work, Wilder is the man. All the girls like him and all the boys want to hang out with him. Wilder has an ability to fit in wherever he is and gets along with whoever he’s with. He’s funny and jovial and good-looking too.

Michael is a quirky writer capable of reporting on big stories. Michael writes the Entertainmenteverything. At school, Micheal doesn’t have many friends except his best friend, Rebecca. Micheal fits only in the group, that wouldn’t settle for that normal. Lolz, and he’s also an excellent (he claims it!) photographer. He is very humorous and spontaneous in his flow of jests , that you laugh your head off, seeing his acts. column. Micheal’s column is ‘Names Dropping’. Micheal is quirky and hip, always has so much to say about

Amanda is the magazine owner’s daughter. Amanda covers Fashion. Amanda’s column is ‘Fashion Forward’. To tell about her, as all Fashion models are, she’s also so obsessed with it and every time you get to see her walk on the ramp. She’s the one who sung the title song for this sitcom.

And Last, but not the least, is Noah. A bubbly, cheerful, more matured than the others and smart boy. He favors music and his column is music. He has a secret crush on Rebecca…and forgot to mention, even Rebecca has a crush on him. Their encounters are kind of lovely to see. The way they talk , the way they pull each other’s legs…etc.

The whole thing revolves only around three spots; 1) The Teen Buzz office,2) Their school and 3)The Fashion spot. Very cool and composed, well co-ordinated story. The teens are very natural and casual in their acting. I mean, you rarely see artificial acting. You feel like as if it is a real happening and you realize it as a sitcom only at the end. They maintain their sets very well, for instance

In an episode, the teen buzz magazine is ready to get an award for the “Best Magazine of the year” . So, all are kind of getting ready for their roles to do in the function. After all preps, they go through the elevator, as their office is located in the 4^th floor . The elevator door closes and it opens again. When the door opens, all of them come out of it, cheering about their success. So, they did’nt cover-up what happens on the award-winning function. But, it is quite obvious to assume what would have happened. The subtleness of the function is maintained through out.

I love watching it. In Contrary to the serials like, “Kana Kaanum Kalangal”, which revolves around high school students involving friendship, revenge, jealousy and what-not-stuff, making you brood half-the-time, this sitcom is far better suited for jovial, happy-go teens , who take their lives as it comes and enjoy it to the core. If you are a teen, and if you are used to English accent…Then, I assure you, you’ll really love it.
